RE: [Paddlewise] Was paddle jacket

I haven't gotten fully converted to seakayaking yet in
this regard.  I still am mainly just carrying what I
did for whitewater paddling with some additions in the
boat.

On/in my PFD:
  1 - Power bar
  1 - Car key permanently attached
  1 - Whistle
  1 - Compass
  1 - Tube of sunscreen
  1 - knife
  2 - carabiners to use for a zee drag.  These are
clipped on the shoulder straps, one on each side. 
they are probably not of that much use when sea
kayaking.
  2 - Prussik loops, also for a zee drag.  Again
probably of little use while seakayaking.

In addition I carry the following in the boat:
  1 - First aid kit
  1 - Flashlight
  1 - Signal mirror
  1 - Paddle float
  1 - Pump
  1 - water bottle
  Some spare clothes as needed
  Some cash (in coins)

My list needs to be revised to reflect the fact that I
am no longer doing ww and am now paddling a seakayak. 
I plan to add a strobe and or flares.  I may stop
carrying the whitewater items, but haven't yet (force
of habit I guess).
